Emperor Taizu Gao originally set up the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to take charge of the world's soldiers. In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the province of Zhongshu was dismissed, imitating the "Zhou Li" Six Qing system, and six departments were set up directly under the emperor. At the same time, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was also divided into five, which was divided into the Central Army, the Front Army, the Rear Army, the Left Army, and the Right Army.

According to Emperor Gao's design, the five military governors were parallel to each other, divided their jurisdictions according to their regions, and managed the capital guards within their jurisdictions.

In the Ming Dynasty, the guards under the jurisdiction of the capital division were not only military households, but also civilian households, and the capital division itself also had jurisdiction, which could be said to be a country within a country, with great power, and the capital was divided into five departments, which were only divided into powers, and there was no restriction on power and responsibility.

The Governor's Office of the Five Armies has the right to command troops, but it does not have the right to transfer troops. Once the state uses troops, the military department will issue a transfer document to transfer troops, draw soldiers from each guard station, and appoint a chief military officer as a general. Therefore, the military department has the right to dispatch troops, but it has no soldiers in its own hands.

At the same time, in order to achieve military secrecy, the military households under the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces never reported to the Ministry of Military Affairs. The Ming Dynasty's military department Shangshu didn't know how many guards there were in the country. The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was in the hands of a fixed number of nobles, and over time it became intertwined, and there was room for them to go up and down, which eventually led to the embezzlement of the Tuntian by the hereditary generals, and the military families fled and became the generals' domestic slaves.

After arriving in Jiajing, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies even lost its power and was reduced to a full rank. Its function of commanding troops fell on the head of the military department, but the guard post had completely collapsed, and there were no troops to adjust, so the conscription system could only be allowed to prevail. This became the abyss of the transformation of the national army into the private army of the generals, and finally brewed the feudal town of the late Ming Dynasty.

No person in power will ignore military power, let alone let it be left behind.

Zhu Cihong is the crown prince of Huangming, not a general, and it is impossible to focus all his energy on military construction, so it is necessary to prevent this army from returning to the private army system from the system. It is very necessary. Especially taking advantage of the fact that the army is still relatively clean and the Shantou faction has not yet appeared, it is even more necessary to clarify the system.

"I still want to unify the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and re-establish the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in the early years of Hongwu." Zhu Cihong said: "But the Dusi Guard Office must be withdrawn, so the power and responsibility of the Metropolitan Governor's Office is only to command troops, train troops, recruit troops and fight wars." It is subdivided into the General Staff Department, the General Logistics Department, the General Armament Department, and the General Training Department. To put it simply, the General Staff is in charge of how to win the war; The General Logistics Department is in charge of food, clothing, housing and transportation; The General Armament Department is in charge of weapons and equipment; The General Training Department is in charge of what's going on in the soldiers' heads. ”

"The military department is mainly in charge of the elderly: the issuance of salaries, the transfer of troops, the promotion and promotion of generals, and the rewards and punishments of meritorious service." Zhu Cihong said: "That's it." The military department cannot but understand the state of the army. Not only do you have to get the information from the Governor's Office, but you also have to check it yourself, so that the Governor's Office will not become corrupt again. ”

Sun Chuanting nodded slightly: The crown prince is using the military department to supervise the governor's mansion, and he is still using the military to control the military force. As for the morality, ability, and diligence of the military department itself, it is still assessed in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In this way, from the institutional point of view, the power of the various ministries is balanced. According to the old system, the military department was completely unable to meddle in the affairs of the Governor's Office.

Wu Fu listened to it on the side, and also felt that this was a good way to transfer thousands of catties, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart: His Royal Highness didn't find anyone to discuss this method. It's extraordinary to be able to figure it out on your own.

"In terms of the military system, I think about it so much." Zhu Cihong said: "The two old gentlemen are both old in state affairs, help me think about whether there are any mistakes." ”

Wu Fu and Sun Chuanting thought about it for a while, and finally concluded: "If the generals are separated, I am afraid that the soldiers will not know the generals, and the generals will not know the soldiers, and they will repeat the mistakes of the old Song Dynasty." The soldiers are one, and they are afraid of forming a feudal town with a big tail. Your Highness this law. The generals are still in one place, but the military expenses are paid in the military department. The command of the army and the use of the degree are in the governor's office, and both can directly intervene in the management of the army, which is indeed a very haode strategy. ”

"Then the cabinet will follow this strategy and give it to the imperial father." Zhu Cihong nodded: "He can send Jiangnan officials as he wants, and this little problem should not be obstructed." ”

Wu Fu and Sun Chuanting glanced at each other unconsciously, quite incomprehensible that the crown prince was thinking about everything from the perspective of transactions - this is obviously a skill that the sea should have after decades of ups and downs!

Zhu Cihong leaned back in the chair. said: "I'm a little tired, so I won't send the two gentlemen out, please forgive me." ”

"Your Highness, take care." Wu Fu and Sun Chuanting got up to say goodbye.

Zhu Cihong is indeed tired.

Both the military and the administration must grasp the situation, and both hands must be firm. It is precisely the institutionalization of management that is Zhu Cihong's advantage, and it is inevitable that he will be in a hurry to correct and improve the inefficient system. Fortunately, he is the crown prince. and successfully seized power, which can almost be regarded as "exporting into a constitution".

This is simply the despotic emperor-like enjoyment that I dreamed of in my previous life.

- But if the team from the previous life crossed over collectively, it would be more efficient.

Zhu Cihong was lustful in his heart, so he took a rest, and rattled the bell to summon Lu Suyao in.

"Has Tian Cunshan arrived?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"Tian Cunshan is already waiting outside." Lu Suyao said: "Your Highness discussed political affairs with the old gentlemen, so you didn't dare to report it. ”

"Pass it in." Zhu Cihong's voice was slightly tired, and he immediately raised a finger.

Lu Suyao blessed her body and withdrew. After a while, he came in with a scalded face towel, wiped his face for Zhu Cihong, and burned his eyes.

Zhu Cihong perked up, saw that Tian Cunshan had also arrived at the door, and beckoned him to come in.

"Chitose! The slave and maid are out thinking day and night...... Chitose has lost weight again! Tian Cunshan knelt down in front of Zhu Cihong and cried.

"Get up and talk, what's going on over there in Dengzhou?" Zhu Cihong asked.

Tian Cunshan immediately put away his tears, got up and said: "Chitose, the Dengzhou Navy Division has a scale, and these days it has intercepted many merchant ships going to the north. The Jiannu sailors were all old ships more than ten years ago, and they didn't dare to leave the port when they saw the Dengzhou sailors. However, Jiannu was afraid that our sailors would land, so they moved the people into the interior for twenty miles! ”

"This is the old skill of the old slaves, and they will only move to the sea." Zhu Cihong said disapprerovingly: "Can the artillery be used on the ship?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I can't hit it." Tian Cunshan said: "But General Shen said that it is already good to be able to hit two or three cannons out of ten cannons." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "Just when you came back." Let me ask you, would you like to work by my side, or continue to go to Dengzhou as a trainer? ”

Tian Cunshan's tears fell instantly, and he said, "Master Chitose, the slave has been serving you since childhood. If you don't see a thousand years old in a day, you can't eat or sleep well in a day......"

"Okay," Zhu Cihong said impatiently, "You have been to the sailor for so long, and you haven't seen it dark, so it can be seen that you haven't been to the sea much on weekdays!" ”

"Chitose! Slave maid, slave maid ......" Tian Cunshan's face was flushed.

"The sun and the moon can be seen, these four words can't be said, right?" Zhu Cihong said coldly.

Tian Cunshan fell to his knees and fell to the ground: "Your Highness Mingjian!" It's really a slave who vomits when she gets on the boat...... General Shen said that it was given by his father and mother, and he couldn't change it, so he ...... it later I won't be on the boat too much......"

Zhu Cihong was secretly annoyed in his heart: he was careless to this extent...... Tian Cunshan does not get seasick in the artificial lake in Xiyuan, which does not mean that he will not get seasick when he goes to Liaohai...... In the past few months, the sailor has developed without a chief instructor, which is really a pitfall.

"You should have written to me!" Zhu Cihong said unhappily: "In this way, you will unload the errand of the trainer first." I have another matter for you here. ”

"Your Highness, please command, the slave and maid don't dare to be sloppy." Tian Cunshan hurriedly said.

"Go to Jiangnan to find Wang Zhixin," Zhu Cihong said, "find some well-known local scribes, run three or five newspapers, and scold me for staring at Jiangnan Shilin Daily." ”

"Newspapers?" Tian Cunshan was either at the beach or in a hurry, and happened to miss the release of the "Imperial Bulletin", and he was ignorant of the newspaper, but vaguely seemed to have heard the crown prince mention it.

"If you don't know, go down and ask!" Zhu Cihong said angrily: "I'll give you an idea first, don't just look for people who have a grudge against Donglin, it's best to find people inside Donglin." ”

Tian Cunshan's heart moved: This is clearly a political dispute! It seems that this is the remnants of Donglin who want to die! But what is the origin of that "Jiangnan Shilin Daily"?

"Have a good rest tonight and leave for Nanjing tomorrow." Zhu Cihong said: "Go out." As he spoke, Zhu Cihong had already shaken the bell in his hand, and Lu Suyao quickly walked in and waited respectfully for instructions.

Seeing that his position had been completely replaced by a female official, Tian Cunshan felt quite lost in his heart. However, thinking of the hidden anger of the crown prince just now, it seems that if this newspaper is done well, it will also be a great credit. (To be continued......)
